Services & Fees

Effective August 7, 2019

Note: A $10 accession fee will be applied to all submissions. A centrifugation charge of $1.25 per tube may be applied. All fees are in US $. An additional 10% out of state surcharge will also be applied where animals or owners are from outside the state of Minnesota. All fees are in US $.

Note on days tested and turnaround times: Samples must be received at least 1 business day before the scheduled testing day. New client accounts can take up to 2-3 business days to establish before testing can begin. Samples may not always be tested on the first scheduled day after they arrive; however, it is our goal to complete testing within the posted turnaround time. If rush testing is desired, please contact us.

Pooling any sample may produce a false negative result. Pooling strategies should consider the characteristics/pathogenesis of the disease and test being used.

This assay is validated for the turkey and chicken sample types noted above. The assay is expected to detect Reovirus in pigeon and quail samples but has not been validated for these species. Unvalidated species submissions can be tested but will be reported with a disclaimer. Likewise, the assay is expected to detect Reovirus in spleen, liver, heart, intestine, tissue homogenate, pancreas, synovial fluid, joint swab, egg shell, and BHI media but has not been validated in these sample types. Unvalidated sample types can be tested but will be reported with a disclaimer.
